Rooney as TV pundit at Qatar?

Thank fuck the remote has a subtitles button.

Thank fuck mine has an off button.

Well he's not wrong. Champions elect at home against the relegation threatened team with the worst away record in the Prem that year and somehow we contrived to oh so nearly fuck it right up.

I am interested to see him again as a pundit. He was on MNF not so long ago and gave a different type of approach.

I really hate the easy press / comedians route of having a go at his (and Beckham's for that matter) intelligence when that's not what they are good at or indeed pretend to be good at.

It's almost like having a pop at Stephen Hawking because he was shit at stepovers.

Rooney, like or loathe, was an exceptional talent and I feel should be judged on that rather than all the other stuff.

Obviously I had murderous intent at points but credit where it is due.

Tin hat, fortunately I am off to the land of nod shortly so I will await brickbats upon my return.

Rag :-)

So you agree that him and Beckham are recognised as being thick as pigshit but can't see why he shouldn't be a pundit to deliver expert opinion and insight to the world Cup. Him and Sue Barker would be TV gold as he tries to mount her at half time

I didn't say that either were as thick as pig shit and for the record I have no particular desire to see Sir David anywhere a microphone but I am interested to hear what Rooney has to say. I grant you that there are a myriad of choices that are more articulate but I hope that he will provide a different insight into the game. We shall see.

I like SB also, wonderfully trim ankles.

Ha ha. I'm surprised you're the only poster that has said that. :-)

You said that they weren't known for their intelligence which I took for a succinct way of saying they were thick, my apologies and I look forward to seeing them both on celebrity mastermind in the near future :-)

They probably are quite thick in reality. If they were daft enough to go on Celebrity Mastermind then I would definitely be in the queue to watch them make fools of themselves.

I think I've dug myself a deep enough hole now, time to put my shovel down.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Expect the BBC will win the tug of rug. Let’s hope he leaves his mic on when he makes his move on Claire Balding.

He's got a bit of a chance with Clare 'cos she only seems really interested in things equestrian, and Wayne could pass muster for a horse's arse!

errm, Qatar, errm, Werld, errm, Cup.

Will he have a Joe Biden auto queue, subtitles, or both?

The irony of taking the piss out of a stutterer and not being able to spell queue.

Modern society in a nutshell.

Wayne your chosen area of knowledge is vintage brass, your first question.
